Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. The uber talented Butch Hartman does. Read and review please.
Lea was at her locker getting out her books when she felt two muscular arms wrap themselves around her waist. "Hey beautiful." Zane said kissing her neck. Lea turned around and pecked his lips. "Hi." Lea said hugging him. "Have you told Em about us?" Zane asked tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Not yet. I'm going to tell her today in chem." Lea said as they walked to English class. "Okay." Zane said and they sat down. A few minutes later the teacher walked in and began class.
"Emmie can we talk?" Lea asked her friend when she walked into her chemistry class. "Sure. What's up?" her African American friend asked. "It's about Zane and I." Lea said swallowing thickly. "What about you and Zane?" Emma asked taking out her chemistry book. "Zane and I got together over the weekend." Lea said looking down at her shoes. "And you waited until now to tell me? You should have told me as soon as you got together." Emma snapped as she slammed her chemistry book shut. "I'm sorry." Lea said looking at her best friend. "I need some time to think. I'm going to the library." Emma said grabbing her things and leaving. Lea sighed and laid her head on her desk. "This is going to be a long day." she said to herself.
Lea was sitting next to Zane picking at her salad when he nudged her. "You okay?" he asked setting his burger down. "Huh? Oh, yeah." Lea said faking a smile. "Did you tell Emma?" he asked taking a sip of his milk. "Yeah, I did." Lea said pushing around a piece of lettuce. "How did she take it?" he asked putting his hand on hers and lacing their fingers together. "She didn't take it well." Lea said leaning her head on his shoulder. "What do you mean?" Zane asked kissing the top of her head. "She got mad and went to the library. She's been avoiding me all day. She didn't talk to me in Algebra or in Spanish. I don't know why she hates me." Lea said getting up and walking away.
Later that afternoon Lea was sitting on the couch petting Phantom, who was curled up in her lap, and watching TV. Lea heard footsteps on the stairs and turned around. Lea smiled as she saw Lily run down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Come on Phantom. Let's get something to eat." Lea said getting off the couch and walking into the kitchen. "Hey Lily. What are you making?" Lea asked setting Phantom on the ground with a bowl of milk. "I'm making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Lily said getting out the peanut butter. "Do you need any help?" Lea asked leaning against the counter as Lily got out the bread and jelly. "No. I'm good." Lily said as the doorbell rang. "Can you watch Phantom while I get the door?" Lea asked as she walked out of the kitchen. "Sure." Lily said and Lea walked to the front door. She opened the door and saw Emma standing on the front porch. "I thought you hated me." Lea said crossing her arms over her chest. "No, I don't." Emma said running a hand through her hair. "What brings you here then?" Lea asked. "I shouldn't have come here." Emma said turning to leave. "If you were going to be a bitch to me then why did you even come?" Lea asked gritting her teeth. "I just wanted to see my best friend one last time before she ignored me completely." Emma said trying not to cry. "Emma, I would never ignore you. You're my best friend. We've known each other since we were babies." Lea said putting a hand on her friend's shoulder. "It's just that I don't want to become the third wheel." Emma said hanging her head. "Girl, you would never become the third wheel. And if I think you are then I'll end things with Zane." Lea said pulling her friend into a hug. "You promise?" Emma asked as she looked at her raven haired friend. "I promise girl." Lea said smiling. "And you don't have to end things with Zane. You guys are the perfect couple." Emma said hugging her friend again. "You're the best Emma." Lea said giving her friend a bone crushing hug. "I know." Emma said smiling. "We okay?" Lea asked grinning. "Yeah, we're okay." Emma said as Phantom ran past Lea's legs and out the door. "Phantom get back here!" Lea yelled after the tiny kitten. "I'll get him." Emma said and ran after the cat.
Emma followed Phantom into the park and was looking around when she ran into someone. There was an 'oof' sound as Emma knocked the other person to the ground. "I'm so sorry. I was looking for my best friends cat and I didn't see you there." Emma explained as she helped the person up. "That's okay. I wasn't exactly paying attention either." the guy said getting up. "I'm Emma Foley by the way. And you are?" Emma asked looking at the guy. He was African American and had beautiful hazel eyes. "My name's Damien Bradford. It's nice to meet you." Damien said holding out his hand. "It's nice to meet you too." Emma said smiling. "So what brings you to the park?" Damien asked running a hand over his shaved head. "I was at my best friend's house when her cat got out. I told her I'd go after him." Emma explained running a hand through her dark brown hair. "You need help finding him?" Damien asked as Emma looked around. "Yeah, that would be great." Emma said as they began walking through the park. "What does the cat look like?" Damien asked as Emma looked under a bench. "He's black with white paws." Emma said looking at the trees. "I think I found him." Damien said pointing to a tree. "How the hell did he get up there?" Emma asked looking up into the tree. "He's a cat. Cat's climb things." Damien said looking at the cat who was laying on one of the branches. Emma sighed and ran a shaky hand through her hair. "You okay?" Damien asked looking at the distraught girl. "No. I don't know how I'm going to get that damn cat out of that tree." Emma said heaving a big sigh. "I can get him out the tree." Damien said walking over to the base of the tree. Damien looked up at the cat and began whistling. "Come here kitty. C'mon buddy." Damien said to the cat. The cat got up and walked along the branch until it stopped at the bark of the tree. Phantom jumped down to a lower branch and then into Damien's arms. "Here you go. One adorable little kitten." Damien said depositing the kitten in Emma's arms. "Thanks. Do you want to grab a bite to eat at the Nasty Burger after I give my friend her cat back?" Emma asked as they walked out of the park and towards Fenton Works. "Sure. I'd love to." Damien said as Emma ran up to the front door and rang the doorbell. "You found him! Thank you Emmie." Lea said taking the cat out of her friend's arms and smiling. Emma waved by to her friend and then walked back over to Damien. "Let's go." Emma said and the two of them walked to the Nasty Burger.
